It's worth looking closely at the case too. Make sure it genuinely is big enough inside. Nothing worse than finding today's GPU card wont fit as a hard disk must be squeezed in. Look also at the provision for fans. Budget cases may not include many of these but it's important to get a good air curculation especially to the GPU.
I'm assuming that the CPU is a retail rather than OEM version so would be supplied with a stock cooler fan.
Amazon may be a reasonable place to start looking for stuff, but it's got to be worth checking out some of the dedicated suppliers out there:

cheers rob ,very helpfull ,yes the cpu comes with a fan ,the box is reviewed as being very spacious (although a tad plasticy) the psu he has chosen is the minimum required to support the mother board(with 1 120gb hd) and the gpu he wants which is connected to the psu so it may be worth upgrading that
